ABOUT PRODUCTID 15255
The ERCO wall sconce from the 1970s exemplifies vintage German design, where structural simplicity is combined with expressive materials. Created in the spirit of mid-century modern, the lamp features a robust, square base made of deep black Bakelite and a striking clear glass shade. The richly textured shade, evoking wood grain or flowing water, creates a dynamic interplay between material and light. The glossy finish accentuates the detail of the glass, adding an organic touch to the geometric framework. Visible, solid mounting points on the Bakelite base emphasize its functional construction, while the monochrome palette—contrasting black with glass transparency—lends the piece seamless versatility across different interior aesthetics. It fits a standard E27 bulb. The sconce has been preserved in very good condition, with no cracks or chips in the glass and only minimal signs of age on the base.This sconce tells the story of the 1970s, when German homes pursued modernity through refined, understated forms. The Bakelite base whispers of an era in which everyday materials took on new meaning, while the glass, though substantial, refracts light in undulating, irregular patterns—trapping a fragment of analog warmth that endures through the decades. Every detail—from the Bakelite
